Bought this box for our lab to further test PFSense. The 2.5gig Ethernet ports worked as expected with PFSense 2.6.0CE. Had this running in a lab environment for about a week and so far, its been flawless. My unit only came with 4gig instead of 8, but a quick chat with the seller resolved the issue completely. Looks like a great value if you are looking for an inexpensive way to run PFSense.

The first unit received, purchased during a lightning deal, had a hardware flaw that would not allow me to boot or install any peripheral. After a short and painless support ticket concluded that it was nothing to do with memory, hard drive(s), or install media being used it was returned.

Setting this up as a router with OPNsense and AT&T Fiber internet. I did not know this until after but there is a compatibility issue with the Intel I225-V nic and one of the gateways that AT&T Fiber uses for GPON/ONT setups (Pace 5268AC). It will not negotiate at all and is essentially dead. This can be worked around by placing a switch between the gateway and this device.

Received the first unit, had some issues installing an OS on the system. Crashed during boot, crashed during install, never would complete install. During troubleshooting it was found that the RAM was bad. Reseating the RAM didnt help, unit was received DOA.

Runs great with opnsense and company was very responsive in sending a vesa mount plate to wall mount. 10/10 would buy from HUNSN again.

Great device for OPN/Pfsense.

I purchased the barebone unit because I wanted to choose the brand of RAM and mSATA drive. I ended up purchasing 2x Micron Crucial 8 GB and an INDMEM 256 GB SSD. Like others have reported, after setup the unit that arrived would not POST or boot with both SODIMM slots populated. A quick swap test revealed that slot0 would recognize the RAM but slot1 would not. HUNSN was quick to respond to my messages and with the details I provided they had a replacement unit on its way the next day.

+OPNsense install works great (balenaEtcher -> VGA to USB install)

Apparently there are two models of this same device one with a dingle DIMM slot and a newer one with a dual DIMM slot. I received the 2 slot unit. The RAM specs dont say that we need 1GB packages on the module, but the seller warned me of this as I bought a barebones unit and they reached out to me before it shipped. Apparently it wont post with some 512MB package DIMMS. However, I ordered A-Tech 16G (2x8GB kit) which advertises it ships with 1Rx8 and 2Rx8, so I took the gamble as I couldnt find anything else that ships quick and was cheap without looking too shady. Well, it posted fine and pfSense recognized the 16GB of RAM and the i225V NICs without any drama.

Its a great little unit and does a perfect job exactly as advertised. I can go on about the product but its obviously an established product and being recommended by multiple websites and people that are much more knowledgeable than I am. What I do want to mention however is the support they provide and the genuine care for what they sell. If you write to them, they will reply back with actual helpful information. Never heard of them prior to researching into these open code router firewalls but I can see why this seemingly obscure company gets a mention amonst the fussy and nische crowd. Good on you Hunsn, keep up the good work and tks for your help so far.
